works fine (this is defined at global scope, g and baa are same as static)

    int f(HWND hwnd, int n)
    {
        return n*10;
    }


    void baa()
    {
        HWND foo;
        writeln(foo.f(10));
    }


but if I wrap this within a class:

class Foo
{
    static int f(HWND hwnd, int n)
    {
        return n*10;
    }


    static void baa()
    {
        HWND foo;
        writeln(foo.f(10));
    }
}

I get the error:

Error: no property f for type void*

Member functions (including static ones) can't be called with UFCS.

Thanks
 is this documented somewhere? Is this going to change?

It will stay as is.
It is somewhat vaguely described in p.7 under UFCS section in functions

If it's really important you can make a module-level alias to the static method.
